title: Ru-catalyzed dehydrogenative coupling of carboxylic acids and silanes--a new method for the preparation of silyl ester.
abstract: Ru(3)(CO)(12)/EtI has been found to be an efficient catalyst system for the dehydrosilylation of carboxylic acids with silanes. In the presence of 1 mol% Ru(3)(CO)(12) and 4 mol% EtI, dehydrosilylation reactions in toluene afforded the corresponding silyl esters at 100 degrees C in good and high yields.
